This was dubbed "Poor Man's" candy because it costs very little to make plenty of this sweet treat for family gatherings (Total cost usually less than $5.00). Not to mention that it's quick and easy!

Ingredients

2 cups of Confectioner's sugar

1 stick of butter

Creamy peanut butter

Vanilla flavoring

Milk

Food coloring (optional)

Baking Cocoa (optional)

Steps

1

Melt the stick of butter on low heat. Slowly pour in the whole box of confectioner's sugar. Add a tablespoon of vanilla flavoring. Add a tablespoon or two of milk to fully dampen the mixture. The consistency should be like a stiff, soft paste. Cook over low heat for 3-5 minutes stirring continuously.

2

Remove from heat and cool mixture in refrigerator until slightly chilled.

3

Spoon out a small ball of the mixture and pat it out onto a non-stick surface. Try to keep the thickness even and pat it out into a circle.

4

Spread peanut butter thinly over the mixture. Roll it up then slice it into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) pieces.
